Thanks I will check the bushings and tie rod ends when I get a chance to do my brakes. Maybe tomorrow or next weekend. I know this will be a novice question but am I just looking for excessive play in the tie rod ends (that I can tighten up), or looking to see if they have become wore out. I have never found a bad tie rod end on one of my cars. I know this is common among old cars, guess I have been lucky so far.
